Heritage offers spacious, family oriented homes in a great community with every imaginable convenience and amenity within minutes.

"Families looking to make a quick move will appreciate the fact that we have many homes available right away," said Stefan Markowitz, president of MBK Homes. "Rather than wait for months for construction to be completed on another home, buyers who need to move now can be in their new home in no time. We invite shoppers to visit and see our spacious, well designed homes and tour The Oaks community with its well-regarded schools, nearby parks, shopping, business centers and recreational opportunities."

Heritage is a collection of some of the largest, most elegant single-family homes in Murrieta, set on spacious pool-sized lots, many overlooking a picturesque oak ravine. Heritage is located within The Oaks, a planned community close to excellent schools, neighborhood parks, and wide variety of local shopping centers.

"Heritage has proven quite successful as visitors are quite impressed with the size of these homes and the remarkable prices we are offering, in addition to no homeowners dues. They also find the setting very beautiful with the reserve of oak trees preserved on our property. These trees create the feeling of an established neighborhood," Markowitz said.

"Buyers have been falling in love with this collection of large homes because Heritage has so much to offer. These are some of the most spectacular homes in the area. A home this grand and of such custom caliber would cost almost double in Orange County. Another important benefit are the schools which are within the highly acclaimed Murrieta School District," Markowitz said.
